<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nYou probably are already going all in for your family.<\/strong> You must act like the other parent doesn’t exist.<\/strong> Once you set the tone to go-all-in, everyone else eventually will follow suit. Having this go-all-in attitude is like planting a seed that will yield a field of rewards. In this case, the reward that you harvest is a family that you’ve always dreamed of having; the family that others will envy because you’ve done it unlike anyone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pamela and I hope you have enjoyed “How to Make a Blended Family Work.” We totally understand how difficult it is in getting a traditional family to work and how much more it takes to get a blended family to work. We hope that through these lessons, you’re able to move the needle beyond what happens normally and have started to see uncommon results manifest in your life. You’ve taken the journey necessary to learn “How to Make a Blended Family Work.” Now let’s go to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Question: what next steps can you take in making your blended family work?<\/p>\n\n\n
I know what you might be thinking. I’m already going-all-in; however, I believe, especially if you’re reading this that you indeed are already in. In fact, you might be sick and tired of hearing people say you must go-all-in. They say this in sports, work, and religion. Now they’re saying it in the family. The way you’ve heard it in the past isn’t the way I wish to say it or for you to hear it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is where you must apply the thinking that the other parent doesn’t exist and live as if it were all up to you. And as I say this, I don’t mean you’re alone, you have your family, but for the purpose of going-all-in, you need to respond as if it’s only you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m not saying make a lifestyle where you don’t acknowledge or interact with your child’s other parent. I’m not saying attempt to take your child from the other parent, nor am I trying to eliminate your child’s other parent. Now you’re ready to hear what I am saying.
<\/li>
Act as if there is no other parent and you have the full responsibility of your child. Think of it as if the other parent doesn\u2019t exist, then you’d be completely responsible. This is the attitude one must have in making their family work. You know longer get to expect what the other parent will or will not do, instead you take complete ownership. Have no expectation for the other parent, therefore if they do anything it’s rewarding. It’s time to go-all-in. Go-all-in as if you’re a single parent raising a child(ren) on your own. Go-all-in. Stop complaining about what the other parent is doing or not doing. Go-all-in. This is what it takes to make a blended family work. If you take complete ownership, you are not relying upon nor expecting help from anyone else. Then when you do receive any, you’re grateful and appreciative.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
